You need to either re-register an existing team that you're a manager of (in Phase One) or create a new team in the client and register it (in Phase Two). Once that's done, you need to invite registered players to your team so that by the end of Phase Two, you have a roster of five players that have accepted invites.

CAN A PLAYER THAT'S BEEN REMOVED FROM A TEAM BE RE-INVITED?

Yes, any registered player that has not already accepted an invite can be invited in Phase Two.

WHEN DOES REGISTRATION OPEN?

Phase One is open now. You can see when Phase One and Phase Two end above.

DOES REGISTRATION APPLY TO BOTH MAJORS AND MINORS?

Yes.

WHEN IS THE NEXT TIME THAT ROSTERS UNLOCK? Updated!

The next registration period will start after the completion of The International 2018.

CAN A PLAYER LEAVE A TEAM ONCE THEY'VE ACCEPTED AN INVITE?

No, once a player has accepted an invite, they're locked to that team's roster for the duration of the registration period.

ARE THERE SUBSTITUTE PLAYERS?

Subs are not part of the registration process. Using a sub in a Major or Minor may incur a point penalty (see the FAQ on Majors and Minors).

WHAT ABOUT SUBS DURING THE REGISTRATION PERIOD? New!

During the registration period (prior to the Phase Two end time listed above), there are no penalties for playing with substitutes.

WHAT IF WE NEED TO MAKE ROSTER CHANGES AFTER THE LOCK?

Playing with a roster that's significantly different from a registered roster will incur point penalties, similar to using subs (see the FAQ on Majors and Minors).

CAN A TEAM INVITE BE CANCELED?

Yes, but only if the player has not accepted it yet. Once a player accepts an invitation, the player cannot be removed from the team.

CAN A PLAYER BE INVITED TO MORE THAN ONE TEAM?

Yes, but they may only accept one of those invites.

DO WE NEED TO UPDATE OUR IN-CLIENT TEAMS BEFORE THE DEADLINE AS WELL?

No, we will update the in-client teams to match the registration list at the end of Phase Two.
